THE UNGLOVED HAND.

streaming across his whIie face and max
ing more than terrible his open, glazed
eNes; bird sitting singing on his icy
hand. the black, round mark about his
throat, the half finished statue of Memory
in the moist clay; the open easement and
the carefully closed door.
That was all
Yet no-you ask IL there was no clew'
Two
Little ones.
And Vel one greater than the other.
The deep imprints of two hands-s
right hand and ieft-in the wet clay of
the Young artists last work
The right hand was that of an sristo
crat; the long, slender and tapered
fingers, the hollow, narrow palm, even
the impress Of the oval nail tips lay there
clearly cut in the gray clay.
The left was the hand of a vulgaran,
hrcad OF palm. with short, thick fingers,
their fiat, wide tips sinking deep.
They were close beside each other.
They Were friends.
They had been rs close in their rela-
tions as humanity may be, for together, it
seemed, they had murdered Vladimir
Deinek
To whom had those two hands be-
aongeds
IL was ceaseless question, which no
one for years could reply to.
The aristocratic hand detectives, anato-
mists and experts decided WAS the hand
of womsn-a small, soft. sensitive palm
lightly touching the object il met to sup
port its owner on her hasty route across
the studio, and yet leaving its indelible
portrait staring there.
The other, the accomplice's hand-for
naturally the aristocrat was taken for the
instigator and the vulgarian the hirelinc-
was thought TO be that Of n youth, terri
fled at his share of the crime, his strong
fingers having sunk deeply into the statue
Of Memory.
Had Vladimir Dejnek any enemies7
All, well; mono that any one knew, but
when a man is young, ardent, impas-
stoned lovable. may he not have enemies
~ well as friends' Easily.
Did he love any ones
Oh, yes yes; love is not an idle word it
does the work OF many not yet invented
And was he loved.
Truly
BY whomt
All, who knows
Had he a model
Yes. She ceased coming . fortnight
before.

Vladimir Dejnek, and that very morning,
very likely, he had obliterated il.
